Very unique nativities

We are drawn to nativities that have unusual settings and designs.

This is music box. When you wind it up the outer ring goes around the center. The matchbox nativity below has the same type of movement. The music box was a gift from my Secret Pal. The matchbox was given to me by Pastor Dave. Another friend, Jayne, who also collects nativity gave me a duplicate matchbox the same year. She took hers back and gave me another nativity in exchange for it. She had not bought a matchbox nativity for herself.

We purchased this in an after Christmas sale.The praying hands always remind me of Jack's step mother, Daisy Purves, who collected praying hands.

A resin pinecone is the setting for this nativity that we purchased on an anniversary trip to Lancaster, PA.

A gift from Ben and Diane

Although the shape makes you think of a tree it is actually more like a mountain. Found in a yard sale.

Jingle bell ornament

The reminds me of the Judas tree. The individual pieces sit on "pads". Purchased at the Biltmore Estate in Ashville, NC

Although it is resin, this appears to be carned out of a tree trunk

What makes this unusual is the size of the animals in comparison to the people. Gift from Pastor Dave.

The modernistic design and the tiny heads make this resin nativity unusual.
